Pats fans who complain about McDaniels are very spoiled. Our offense is statistically one of the better out there year after year and generally carries the defense...though it has been back and forth this year.

I can't take the complainers seriously because McDaniels is one of the better OC's out there. These same people whined about how bad BOB was in our SB year (when the offense was incredible), they complained about Josh before him, and Charlie Weiss before him.

He isn't perfect but he is good overall. These people will complain about our next OC too. Easy person to blame when things aren't going well...except in NWE things are perfectly fine if not quite good. Spoiled.

Albert Breer reported on Twitter that the Browns HC job is going to be tough to fill. They kicked guys like Chud, Horton and Turner to the curb after one year. Not to mention they have no QB and no RB. Oh - and if Josh Gordon forgets to say "Bless You" after somebody sneezes, he'll be suspended for the year which leaves them with essentially no weapons on offense.

Somebody will take the job but it's not a dream job scenario. I think Todd Bowles might take it. He had a little head coaching experience while serving at the interim in Miami and a history with Joe Banner.

Gase or McAdoo might be a better fit because they need someone who can either develop a young QB or get the best out of one of their existing QBs. I just don't know if either of those promising candidates would be willing to take the job. Sometimes you only get one chance to make an impression and if you don't take a pretty girl to the dance you'll be remembered for it.

No matter how you look at that roster or how they've treated their coaches this season, there are still only 32 NFL head coaching positions in the world. They will get a quality applicant at some point._________________

Agreed but I think two scenarios are likely.
1) An OC or DC decides to stay in their current role rather than take a job with such instability which is what I think McDaniels did.

2) A potential hire chooses another team over the Browns because of the situation in Cleveland.

Somebody will be their HC but they don't exactly get their choice. They may have to settle for their 4th or 5th preferred candidate.

The most insane of circumstances really. They fire Chud because he wasn't one of "their" guys and think they can bring in McDaniels, McD says no because they fired Chud after a year and left things a mess, so now not only did they lose their HC but they have to settle for the D-list of options at this point._________________

Citing conversations with people around the league, NFL Network's Albert Breer says the feeling is the Browns' head-coaching job is viewed as "radioactive."

"Tough spot for them," added Breer of the Browns, who were quickly spurned by Patriots OC Josh McDaniels. The Browns have an alleged-criminal owner and kicked Rob Chudzinski aside after one year on the job, also letting outstanding coordinators Ray Horton and Norv Turner leave without a fight. There is no franchise quarterback or running back on the roster. It's not surprising coaches around the league aren't lining up to succeed Chudzinski.

You can hardly blame coaches for wanting to steer clear, given the way the Browns have conducted themselves.

Yes, there are only 32 NFL HC jobs, but if you don't take one this year, you know there will be half a dozen more next year. Why risk your reputation on the Browns, when you can just wait?

I think they'll end up settling for someone no other NFL team would hire for the position, or they'll have to go and hire one of the guys who just got fired. Kubiak, perhaps.

You mean the front office?

The City, nor the fans deserve this. These clowns running the team either get their stuff together to salvage their NFL careers or get their asses blackballed from the league._________________@CoachHam6455

Yeah, I mean the front office.

The organisation has wallowed for years, then the new owner comes in and apparently hires a crony as his GM, then they can't get the HC they want, so they bring in a patsy for the year. And that guy actually does more than you might expect, with a team that has no QB. But then they get a sniff that their next favourite HC candidate might be available, so out goes Chud. Serves them right that McDaniels said no (though that will probably end up working out better for the organisation)._________________
